The Web3 gaming market has recently experienced a wave of events and updates.

Yield Guild is actively promoting a collaboration with Crypto.com’s game Loaded Lions: Mane City, offering a prize pool of over $84,000. Meanwhile, MetaArena has joined a New Year event initiated by GamingOnSei and KuCoin Web3, where players can compete for $16,000 worth of SEI tokens by completing related tasks. The collectible card game Vibes TCG announced a partnership with SCG CON (a major tabletop gaming expo), planning to host tournaments with a $10,000 prize at each event throughout 2026.

Projects are also making rapid progress. Yuga Labs’ Otherside metaverse announced that the first batch of "Feels" physical merchandise will launch on Amazon’s official store on January 22, marking an important step in community IP commercialization. Pump.game has launched a GAMES token airdrop for PUMP holders and Pump.fun users, distributed based on user holdings and past trading activity.

In terms of game releases, Roguelike shooter Zombie World will officially launch on the Immutable platform on January 31. Developed by Trillionaire Thugs, it supports multiple weapon types. At the same time, EVE Frontiers revealed a major plan—aiming to migrate to the Sui blockchain in Q1 2026 or earlier to further enhance blockchain capabilities and user experience.

Notably, Pixiland announced on January 15 that it will indefinitely suspend Web3 features and switch to a Web2 operation mode, meaning crypto transactions will be disabled. wPixi will be converted to in-game GEM currency at a 10:1 ratio, and users’ NFTs can still be withdrawn to personal wallets.

$84,000 invested, can it really turn into something spectacular? --- Pixiland's move is quite clever—pause and pause again, Web3 dreams shattered --- With both airdrops and prize pools, game developers are also getting competitive --- Migrating to Sui? EVE is betting on Sui's future --- Yuga is still stubbornly supporting Otherside, can physical goods save it? --- The intensity of this round of events is ridiculous, it feels like everyone is racing to the starting line --- So many actions in January, is there some hidden agenda behind it? --- Vibes TCG collaboration exhibition, is the card game finally making a comeback? --- Web3 games are hot, but I'm worried about the money going down the drain --- Pausing Web3 and switching to Web2, Pixiland's choice is a bit socially anxious --- SEI token activities are so numerous, are they building up strength?

Prize pool of 84,000 dollars? It's the same old trick of cutting leeks, the same old routine... Pixiland is directly abandoning Web3 this time. When will it be our turn with our coins? EVE migrating to Sui? It feels like betting on a new ecosystem. Not sure if it's reliable... Otherside merchandise is now on Amazon. This is the right way to go mainstream. Another wave of airdrops, is your wallet ready...

Airdrops are coming again, and this time they are investing heavily. It feels like the window to make money is closing... By the way, Pixiland directly moving to Web2 this time is a bit surprising. Will EVE Frontiers migrate to Sui? I want to see if this can revive the game. Yuga Labs' physical merchandise is now on Amazon, finally moving into offline sales. There are so many activities this round, but has anyone really made money? It feels like every time there's a huge prize pool, but in the end, it's just insiders taking the profits. Zombie World is launching soon, another shooting game. I wonder if it will be a flop.
